Windoor + Data Tag

[AlanW]

Hi, trying to use a Data Tag for doors. We use Windoor. I cant get text to show in the tag and not sure how to link information to it like solid door , door size etc.

Any help appreciated.

Hello Alan,

 

I hope you are well.

 

As a start, via the Object Information Palette, you need to select an 'On Schedule:' setting for the schedule to want (that is either, Door, Window, Combo, Other or None). In this case, I presume 'Door'. 

 

Even when using Data Tags, I would still recommend using the WinDoor ID Tool (in the Dims/Notes toolset) as this will automatically turn on this setting and sequentially number WinDoor objects.

 

 

In the Data Tag, you can duplicate the existing text object, and edit the Dynamic Text via the Define Tag Tag: button. 

 

 

I hope that helps.

In the Define Tag Field dialog look for parameters such as:

 

#WinDoor 6.0#.#DoorStyle#

#WinDoor 6.0#.#CSLeafWidth#

#WinDoor 6.0#.#Unit Height#

#WinDoor 6.0#.#Unit Width#

 

Were you only displaying this kind of info then I don't think it's necessary to enable 'On Schedule' for the Door. If you want to return the ID number (which I'm sure you do) then you'll need to.
